User functions we want (but MFC doesn't have)

So, we all love to complain and shit every time MFC updates the site, changes the logo, shuffles around the UI, etc.

But that isn't what this is about! Forget about design, we want function! This is about site components that we just don't have. Little tweaks we may want for sorting and personalization, and I'm tossing up an article about it on the off chance that the site managers might see and take a note or two.

Since this is largely a discussion post, I will put it out there that please, please, constructive comments only? don't just jump in to complain about the new logo or "bring back v3" or whatever. okay? cool.

That being said, here's some of my nitpicks, as someone who spends an ungodly amount of time tooling around on this site.

- Friends List: no option to filter by date added (to friends list).
I've got a lot of friends on here man and I definitely don't remember the screen name of that gal I accepted yesterday whose collection I wanted to see again

- Friends List: Favorites option/lists?
Again. Lotsa friends. Would love to be able to mark who is who, people who have collections I want to follow, people I've met IRL or on other sites, etc.

- Collections: NSFW filter?
Possibility of sorting searches by NSFW in general. Like, only figures whose official photos are marked NSFW get shown/hidden. Testing a bunch of tags like "cast off" "exposable breasts" "nipples" etc. and getting mixed results is a pain, and is pretty ineffective if the figure itself isn't popular and isn't tagged well.

- Profile Edits: More transparency options?
TOTALLY a minuscule thing but a 0-100 slider instead of "100, 85, 50" check-offs would be nice

- Profile Edits: Upload from computer
Another totally small thing, but being able to upload directly from files instead of uploading files to MFC pictures and then picking them would be nice.

- Entries: Mass upload
PLEASE, something to let us add multiple entries from the same type + series at once. When an anime gets a set of, say, 15 pins or acrylic stands or whatever, it's a major pain to then go through the rigamaroll of uploading 15 discreet entries. no wonder I'm always finding a series has whole sets of goods that are never updated, because no one has the patience to do it.

- Entries: Upload multiple Official pics
same deal but smaller. can only upload one official pic when you create an entry, then have to go back and upload the rest into the official category and tagged appropriately

- Notifications: Whishlist by currency (maybe price)
Ability to filter your incoming notifications to only show sales in your desired currency. No more taunting me with stuff in AUD or euros. Also, maybe an option to filter up to a certain price, as in, you might set a max price you're willing to pay on an item and only sales within that bracket come through

- Notifications: Filter comments
Want to see when a store advertises their listing for a figure? Subscribe to comments. Want to see only that, and not everybody screaming about the weird boob shape? Uh... Oh well. Perhaps give the option to filter by "only comments by MFC partners". Or, if you're really fancy, let us set a keyword filter so only comments with "sale" or "Selling" come through.

- Forums: Subscription pop-up
Simple, might be nice to get a little "do you want to subscribe to this feed?" pop up after you post a comment on a forum. Very helpful for split posts, and, well, when forums are already so neglected on this site... *cough*

EDIT:

- Tagging: Anyone can link photos to items
a lot of users post product pics without linking them to an item (myself included). It would be really handy for the sake of databasing to let this task be taken upon by anyone when they see fit

That's all I have at the moment, but as you can see, I'm a bitch with some super dumb and specific wants.

A blacklist for origins (not users !) aka being able to blacklist certain series by name so that entries of those won‘t show up for you. It could be a real time-saver to not have to scan through so much stuff you know you aren‘t interested in anyway. Maybe even a feature to blacklist whole categories, like „plushes“ for example.

ponnie (29 dias atrás) #42145042After selling some of my figures (as well as two that were lost) I feel like having an option USED TO OWN instead of just deleted..

I totally agree with this. You already get to see how how many people wish for a figure, it would also be nice to see how many people owned it but then got rid of it. If you are wanting to buy a figure it would be possible to maybe ask people why they sold it (because of flaws or simply because they don't want it anymore), I know most people on here would be happy to tell you why.

Also it would be nice to look back at what your collection used to be like and how much it's changed over the years.

RockGodItachi (1 mês atrás) #42087188I agree with all of these, I'd like to see the return of your collections value and the statistics, yes it was shocking to see the result of your spending but in hindsight it was quite an eye opener too! I loved the statistics as it really helped put a perspective on your whole collection, in fact I'd love to see additions to this like show me my collection by height, so short to tall or vice versa. I'd also like to see this added to the figure page, so say I searched for One Piece Portraits Of Pirates for example and I've measured up all my available figure space in my house, I would love to be able to click on an option on the search to show me which is the tallest figure in that series or even give me a chart, that way I would know if I could buy and display the one's I'm searching for rather than checking individually.
I would also like to see (the same as you mentioned with friends) the your clubs page have the most active clubs at the top and not have to go through either A, typing the name of the club or changing the search criteria to show me the most active, as soon as I click on that page it should show me what is most recent not all of them alphabetically.
I've mentioned this before but I think it should be fair for people who get their NSFW picture into the POTD category, then it should be a able to show up on the front page if NSFW is ticked, I feel it's unfair for any figure photographer who get their pic into POTD only to not see it on the home page because of it being NSFW, it's not fair to them or the hard work and effort they used to take the pic and share it, as they too deserve to get an opportunity to be on the homepage, so that really should be an option.

all of these I REALLY agree with, they’re also functions ive found myself wanting in the past (but i didnt remember while writing this post ;o; that’s the power of teamwork!)

also, you can get sort of a statistics page by going to manager > my collection > CSV export. it really only works well as a price tracker tho and it is janky from tbe get-go. case in point: i can’t unselect my wishlist from the data range, so when i load up the file i get 800+ unnecessary rows of cels. also the entire fact that i have to download a separate file and open it in excel (cant access if you only use a phone or you don’t have full excel—excel online won’t open CSV files, i tried) :/

icividanes (1 mês atrás) #42044841i wish there was an option to let me change my username :/This 100% I would even pay for it. I don't want to make a new account, but I really don't want to be associated with this name anymore.

Hard agree with uploading pictures from my computer. How many times have I tried to upload a profile background and have it get deleted because 'MFC is not an image hosting site' (I even wrote PROFILE BACKGROUND in the title and everything...)

AlienEmoji (1 mês atrás) #42074580Ok this might just be me being a dummy but is there a way to look at all the comments you ever posted?
I tried finding it but had no such luck but I do tend to be extremely clumsy when figuring out new sites.
If such a feature doesn't exist, it most definitely should!community/track... should be it
